How tight to the ceiling can you get a kayak?

I used the hoist to hold up Costco Kayaks. I put the straps at the widest point. That will make it 22 inches. I also used the same product and didn't used the hooks provided to hold a a ladder. This makes it 12 inches from the top of the ceiling to the ladder. I was going to use kayaks in this area, but it was to close to the garage door. But when I had it on it attached, the Kayak was 16 inch gap.

About 18" max. If you only use the hooksThe kit comes with straps that attach to the hook. With straps at least 24 inches to ceiling I have 8 foot garage ceiling. By attaching to straps -one end to loop other end to loop holding buckle I can get 6 feet between floor & bottom of kayak If you can't attach kayak to hooks only. You need to play with with harness straps to get max height.

Take the top bracket pulley assembly and put it on the floor now take the bottom pulley with the hooks and place the pulleys together with the hooks to the bottom. That represents how high you can pull the system together. The variables are how tight you make the straps that go around your boat and if your boat has any deck protrusions that stick up. Typically my boats are at ceiling height minus the distance from the top bracket to the bottom of the hooks. I keep the straps very tight which allows me to pull the boat tightly against the ceiling.

Not offhand, but I can say that it isn't as wide as my hobie kayak. For rocky terrain I would want at least a 2 to 3 ft wide base. Not sure if they make them. Maybe easier to build a custom one

You have to have a cross bars on the roof. The wing will attach to them.. Not sure what kind of kayak you have but the tie downs are a bit short

absolutely just make sure your ceiling is high enough... I think it's 9' high.we LOVE IT!

I'm not sure about the dimensions of your kayaks, but the ones I've seen could be laid on their sides and strapped down to the extensions. So from my limited point of view, I would say yes.

It hung WAY low. I modified the system by removing the hook from the pulley and bolting it to a 2x4, I attached the strap to the ends of the 2x4. It creates "D" shape with the straight part of the "D" being the 2x4 with the pulley,and the round part of the "D" being the strap shortened to fit snugly around your kayak. This mod took the kayak 30" closer to the ceiling.

You have 14 to 15 inches of play which allows for a lot of types of kayaks depending on your spacing/stud in the wall placement

Yes. No problem, as long as the kayak is inflated enough so that the ends don't droop to the ground.

My kayak is 9 feet long and I don't use any additional tie downs for it. I feel that my kayak is very secure up on top of my vehicle. I take it on the highway no problem.

It might, I have mine about 3 feet apart because I have a shorter kayak and I found when I put the pulleys farther apart the hoop would slip off towards the end. The risk you run in to when putting the pulleys closer is that the kayak might end up slipping through both the hoops if it wasn't centered between the two.

It should work fine, you may have to bend the fastening hooks or create a sling for the kayak.

I carry this Kayak under one arm from my cabin to the water, about 150 yards, while it is inflated. You should have no problem.

Kayaks of any width can be placed on top of the saddles and then strapped down. The saddles don't open up as jaws to grab the kayak. A kayak simply sits atop the saddles. If you are referring to how wide the saddle fasteners open up for mounting on roof racks, they are adjustable and can be fitted to most racks.

It's on tight. But keep in mind the whole ceiling is mesh without the fly. Blowing desert winds could blow sand in.

I would say yes, we were very impressed how well board racks fit, I wouldnt be affraid to put a kayak on ours!

I use yard spikes from lowes to hold it down and it's easy to just tie the kayak with rope. I don't really think either precaution is necessary as it's pretty stable on it's own

yes, absolutely. you can mount anywhere from 1 to 4 kayak racks on the Malone trailer. I imagine they probably have a bike rck attachment that could be used in place of one of the kayak racks.
